“We just don’t have the access like, you know, Los Angeles or Atlanta, NY. I’m glad that today we do have access, and we can be heard.”


Maré is also an artist affiliated with Heard First Huntsville, a project that invests in local creatives through artist development and networking opportunities. She says that being a part of the group feels like being a part of another family that truly cares about her best interests, both professionally and personally.

Looking at her life away from the stage and screen, Maré got candid about life with her family. She is a devoted mother and wife.


“...I usually am good about scheduling my hours during the day because the kids are at school. My husband’s at work ...I am doing this full-time.”


When asked how she juggles all those responsibilities on top of a career in the entertainment industry, she said it wouldn’t be possible without a strong support system behind her.


“What makes it so much easier is that I have a supportive husband. But he knows that a few days of sacrifices that I have to make, and he understands that.”
